This is a safety matter but we need to make sure we are getting the facts right.
While Pneuaire and AndyMark look eerily similar, Pneuaire does not sell a 36 cubic inch tank on their website.

Additionally, somehow the Andymark tank is physically larger (Diameter 2.7" vs ~2.5" and Length 12.1" vs 9.9") than the Pneuaire 44 CI tank, but manages to hold less (36 vs 44 cubic inches). Unfortunately I do not have an Andymark tank to compare physical dimensions, weight, volume etc.
